Hi
I am assessing the existing 600a 3 phase 240v delta service in an shop
To we there is room for addition
Looking the utility bills that say 120 kW or 300A @ 240v 3ph maximum demand worst case

If Each leg at overhead(service drop) draws 100A assuming all legs balanced
Than I have big room for new loads
New load : 600A @240v 3 ph. 200A on each leg

What is the real capacity?
Any room for adding 600a load??

your profile says you are an electrical contractor.

clearly you are not.

why did you lie ?

Just a note until this gets resolved.
200A on each leg is NOT 600A @ 240V. It's 200A @ 240V 3-phase.

If you called it 600A @ 120V you'd be technically correct, but it's simply not stated that way.
